Quotes

Look

Look. Look without naming or judging, without holding on or pushing away. To look in this way, to give your attention this way, is love. – From Conversations with Plato

Man is created and left to discover himself, and on the road to this self-discovery he experiences the creations of his own imaginations which ultimately show him the Truth and lead to real freedom. – Ernest Holmes

Seek Freedom

To seek freedom is the only driving force I know. Freedom to fly off into that infinity out there. Freedom to dissolve; to lift off; to be like the flame of a candle, which, in spite of being up against the light of a billion stars, remains intact, because it never pretended to be more than what it is: a mere candle. – Carlos Castaneda, Don Juan: the Sorcerer

To Yourself

Present

The moment you start seeking you have moved away from the present, away from yourself, because you are always in the present.

Don’t seek and find.” – Osho, Book of Secrets

Really Free

Darkness

You are not what you are; You are darkness Looking for light within. – Dejan Stojanovic

What You See

What you see is built from the corners of your mind, from the years of perspectives that have created layers upon layers. Ask yourself: is it possible to see through these? A fresh palette in your vision, free from the thoughts that have come before. Colors and patterns untouched by the past, just pure light sent directly to your consciousness. Is what you see what is? When you see, how often is judgment the first thought? See for the beauty of what it is. Remove yourself, remove your thoughts, and just witness. Only for a moment perhaps, it’s hard to keep those thoughts at bay, but one moment is enough to open the floodgates of possibility. To show to yourself that it is possible to view in clarity the genuine truth of your observations and see the light within all.

Keep Trusting

When you ask without attachment to results, you will get what you want, but not in the way that you imagined. It proves to your self that you need to remove expectation and control, and that the key is to keep trusting. Don’t get caught up in the distractions that come your way, but let them pass by as you stay in the flow. Listen again to the notes between, the messages in the music, and the silence in your mind. Everything else can be let go of, right now, and all the time. Get the Desktop Wallpaper

Restless Pursuit

Life is perpetually creative because it contains in itself that surplus which ever overflows the boundaries of the immediate time and space, restlessly pursuing its adventure of expression in the varied forms of self-realization. – Rabindranath Tagore

Who Am I

Give up all questions except one: ‘Who am I?’ After all, the only fact you are sure of is that you are. The ‘I am’ is certain. The ‘I am this’ is not. Struggle to find out what you are in reality. To know what you are, you must first investigate and know what you are not. – Sri Nisargadatta Mahara

Earnestness

To remember what needs to be remembered is the secret of success. You come to it through earnestness. – Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Possibility

When I speak of Possibility, I am speaking of a way of looking at reality – or more than that – a way of Being. I see reality itself as Possibility itself. – Bob Frissell

River of Life

Between the banks of pain and pleasure the river of life flows. It is only when the mind refuses to flow with life, and gets stuck at the banks, that it becomes a problem. By flowing with life I mean acceptance — letting come what comes and go what goes. – Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
